"Lo-Fi feels like going to a kick-ass party at a good friends house... except the friend in this case has a stage, a dance floor, pool table, and a bar." - Lo-Fi myspace

"Reeking of big-city panache, this nightspot may leave some wondering if they're still in Bawlmer, hon'. Hardwood floors and whitewashed brick walls establish pure minimalism, while cushioned benches, low tables and backless stools extend for the length of the central room. A second room, with low slung couches and oversized slate fire boxes gets rhythmic support from local DJs. Asian tapas (e.g., duck vindaloo and macadamia tuna) complement cutting-edge martinis and mojitos." - from Citysearch, by Walaika Haskins

"This tiny Mexican eatery is a shrine to things gone but not forgotten--the Colts, Baltimore-brewed National Bohemian beer, a winning Orioles team and, of course, Elvis. A nearly life-sized statue of the King greets customers at the door. The multi-colored bulbs that dangle over the tables add to the funky ambience but do little to illuminate the memorabilia-crammed walls. Expect to wait for a table, but with margaritas served in hubcaps, time passes quickly. Nacho Mamas may never be confused with a genuine south-of-the-border cantina, but it serves huge portions of tasty Mexican-style comfort food, including over-sized burritos and sizzling fajitas. Creativity trumps authenticity here. The spinach salad's pungent bite of feta is tempered by smoky roasted red peppers and a smooth avocado vinaigrette. The creamy, jalapeno-spiked crab dip gives a nod to the homeland but packed with backfin crab, this treat's also got localization." - Review from Citysearch.com

"While a good percentage of Matthew's customers just stop in to pick up their orders, eating in the dining room is something you should try at least once. The walls include maps of Italy, the floor is linoleum and the service is excellent. The latter is impressive considering waitresses usually are the ones who have to take care of carryout customers as well as those dining in. After several visits we still haven't figured out crowd patterns, since some nights the place is full (often with Baltimore's finest) and on other nights we were the only patrons. The menu consists of pasta, subs and salads as well as the featured pies. Many customers split a salad as an appetizer while waiting for their pizza. We can't speak for the quality of the pasta and sandwiches because the pizza is too big of an attraction to try anything else... ...The pizzas are like no other in Baltimore. The menu promises that the crust and sauce are freshly made every day, and the flavor certainly makes that statement believable. The crust has a flavor all its own and is almost an inch thick. The sauce is chunky, and isn't so seasoned that you can't enjoy the flavor of the tomatoes. The pizzas come in Original, which includes sauce but no cheese; Traditional, with tomatoes and a blend of cheeses; Popular, featuring tomatoes and mozzarella; Both Cheeses, which means tomatoes and grated parmesan and mozzarella cheeses; and the Great White with cheese, sweet onions and no tomatoes. While the pizzas are just fine on their own, you can top them off with a great selection of toppings, including green stuffed olives, portabella mushrooms, and, for slightly more cash, roma sausage, homemade meatballs or shrimp. There are also two specialty pies. The Crab Pie features backfin crabmeat, your choice of cheese and onions. Anna's Stuffed Pie is stuffed with provolone and your choice of prosciutto, capicola or salami, then topped with mozzarella cheese. Desserts aren't done in-house, but it's hard to argue with cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory and Vaccaro's cannoli to finish off a superb meal. Matthew';s also has a small but good selection of beer and wine to accompany your pizza." Review by Colleen M. Martin, Baltimoresun.com
